Your budget is incomplete. You've probably got the basics covered — monthly expenses and savings for standard long-term needs (retirement, maybe college). If you're really on the ball you've factored quarterly and annual expenses into your savings plan. But have you factored in those expenses that are not going to happen until next year, or the year after, or in seven years? Do you even know what those expenses are and how much you'll need?
Every person, especially home-owners, has assets that will eventually need replacing — cars, laptops, phones, roofs, HVAC systems, appliances, water heaters, and more. Does your current budget factor in all these things?
Everyone needs a Long Term Replacement (LaTeR) Plan. With a good plan, you can add ONE more line item to your monthly budget to fund all those expenses that are coming your way.
Finish your budget!
Create a plan, and enter how much you've already set aside (or can set aside) in savings for your LTR Fund. Record your assets with their expected lifespans and replacement costs. LTR Plans automatically schedules future replacements, adjusts for inflation, and calculates the exact monthly contribution needed to keep your replacement fund healthy — for decades.
